As a teacher and mom, Heather never imaged she would end up being a professional organizer. However, she was aware that when her apartment was organized and clutter-free, she and her husband both felt calmer and more productive in all areas of their lives.

It wasn't until the middle of Heather's last move, as she and her husband were frantically unpacking moving boxes, desperately trying to locate their son's blue blanky and trying to somehow fit all their “stuff” into Manhattan-sized closets, that Heather came up with the idea for Out of the Box Organizing (OBO).

In addition to general home organizing, OBO specializes in helping people prepare for and get organized after residential moves. OBO helps sort belongings before they're packed, de-clutter a home in preparation to sell, pick up where movers leave off, and fine-tune unpacking from current or past moves (even if the move happened months or years ago!).

Whether it's moving help or organizing assistance, OBO always keeps in mind that this is your space and everything put away must work for you. OBO's goal is to optimize your space, co-devise organizing systems that reflect your unique family needs and leave you with a home that stays organized.
